Reeks of AI. Dripping in it. So does that make it worse? At this point, I'm sorry, it does.

As someone that's never fly fished before, I found it to be a nice shallow wade into something I knew nothing about and came away slightly richer knowledge-wise for it.

But I do agree, it could probably use some more of the creator’s own personality and some restraint design wise if it were to go beyond scratching an itch.

As someone who does frequently go fly fishing, this is essentially a nice pat on your back, as you'll mostly know where to click, I think. It's made overly confusing however, this could be way simpler and not as scientific. Fish aren't always that predictable and reliable in picking their spots.

It's a bit too scientific? It's good for beginners to understand which spots are more likely, but it feels more like a tutorial than a game. Would be cool if it was a bit more randomized and maybe plugged into a geocoder so the user could pick out real locations instead of a few hardcoded ones. Otherwise it's pretty cool, just something to think about.

I like the interactive elements, they look cool and intuitive. Great job! But the overall layout of the site looks more like a personal blog rather than a game? I couldn't quite figure where to start the game since I expected a title screen or scene. Despite that, I enjoyed playing it.
